The market tightened on Montreal

Montreal opened the day at 1.78 at the top of the market and the best price is now 1.73, while Buffalo has drifted from 2.13 to 2.25. Both sides moved at once, and the median sits right next to the best prices (Montreal 1.69, Buffalo 2.21), so this is not one book off the consensus. When the home side shortens and the road side lengthens together like that, it usually reads as information rather than noise. The one supporting fact is recent: Montreal beat Buffalo 4-3 at home four nights earlier. I follow the move and take the Canadiens at 1.73.
